  • 10 weeks is ridiculous! Even my instock items say to collect in store from 26 July over 10 days from when i placed my order.
    Does anyone know why Next have such long waiting times like 10 weeks? If i order something it's cause i want to wear it now, not in over 2 months time.

    I expect the sale stuff is made especially for the event in a lot of cases

    I ordered a pair of school shoes, delivery time 6 weeks. I may just get them before school starts........
    To be fair, they usually send them out before they say they will though.

    Nextdirect have websites in aound 65 countries and it's only the UK site that has online sales so I suspect that we get all their excess stock from around the world and that's why it takes so long as it has to be shipped here and repackaged.

    Has anyone received any of their slots orders yet? My recent activity shows the right balance but no activity however everything's just reading order placed!

    No, all my items were in stock when I ordered them last Wednesday.

    Balance shows the amount owing but order says packed and left warehouse as of today and 2 items just say reserved items on them.

    the first of my orders (25 items) has arrived in store today. The rest is main due in 4-6 weeks although 2 items not due until Sept 24rd. Good job they are not needed quickly as just sizing up for the kids next year.

    Well done Pinkdebster... At least someone has got something.
    I hope you enjoy your packages Hersetta and will be hoping to hear you get yours tomorrow Sarah1972.
    I used the contact form to very politely ask when I could expect my parcels, not a thing in return. Customer service used to be their forte at Next, but not anymore it seems :-(
    You just know the parcels will arrive when I'm miles away at physio in the next 2 days!
